Publication Scheme

Under Section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, each public authority must produce a Publication Scheme.

The aim of the publication scheme is to set out:

  • What information we publish or intend to publish as a matter of course
  • How this information will be published
  • Whether the information will be available free of charge or on payment.         

The scheme should make sure that a significant amount of information is readily available to the public.  Publication schemes are also intended to develop a greater culture of openness within organisations.

Use the links on the left to find out what is in our publication scheme.  The information has been organised into broad areas relating to the services we provide.  "General information" contains information from the Chief Executive’s and Corporate Resources departments, such as details of how the council is organised. The other headings are the services provided by Derbyshire County Council – Education, Environmental Services, Libraries and Heritage, Public Protection and Social Services.

You can download a copy of our publication scheme by clicking on the link in the More Information section below.

If you have any problems finding the information you want, or have any questions about the publication scheme, please contact the Access to Information Officer Tel: 01629 580000 ext 7373.

By ‘publication’ we mean information available on our website, one-off printed documents from a desktop computer, electronic documents, printed books, reports and leaflets.  However, please note that our website contains further information that is not listed in our scheme.
